This Element provides a new evaluation of burial customs in New
Kingdom Egypt, from about 1550 to 1077 BC, with an emphasis on
burials of the wider population. It also covers the regions then
under Egyptian control: the Southern Levant and the area of Nubia
as far as the Fourth Cataract. The inclusion of foreign countries
provides insights not only into the interaction between the centre
of the empire and its conquered regions, but also concerning what
is typically Egyptian and to what extent the conquered regions were
culturally influenced. It can be shown that burials in Lower Nubia
closely follow those in Egypt. In the southern Levant, by contrast,
cemeteries of the period often yield numerous Egyptian objects, but
burial customs in general do not follow those in Egypt.
